The Nigeria Customs Service, Apapa Area Command, has recorded N28.1 billion in revenue in a single day on August 18, 2026, setting a new benchmark for the command.
The figure marks the highest single day collection ever posted by the Apapa command, one of the country’s busiest ports for import and export activity.
The record haul comes amid ongoing efforts by Customs to boost non oil revenue and tighten collection at Nigeria’s major trade corridors.
Apapa remains a critical gateway for the country’s container traffic, and the milestone underscores the volume of trade still passing through the port despite congestion challenges that have long dogged the terminal.
The Service has not yet disclosed what specifically drove the spike, though analysts often link single day surges to bulk clearances or the settlement of accumulated duty backlogs.
